BUYING A HOME

Perhaps you are a first time home buyer? Or maybe you are downsizing, upsizing or even a life change?
Remember, that a house is not a home because of the color or size.
It's about how it makes you feel when you walk in. Or knowing if it aligns with your lifestyle and financial goals?
Our relationship begins before the pre-approval process and goes beyond closing day to assure this is right.
I'm committed to your Real Estate moves 
with compassion, honesty
and truth. 

FAQs 

How much can I afford?

As you begin the buying process, it is important to understand how much you can afford realistically. This means considering your income, expenses, down payment and current mortgage rates. I encourage my clients to aim for a mortgage payment below 30% of your gross monthly income. If you do not have a trusted lender yet or if you are just curious as to what it would take to buy, I work with a trusted network that I'm happy to connect you with.
